i usually range between 80 and 95% of eggs put down but i do just set up incubation and leave it till hatchtime left 10 nests inground this year, nothing hatched from those

going by photos is hard but on the site mentioned they are close to Aulonocara stuartgranti (Metangula) Aulonocara stuartgranti (Ntekete) in amongst the variants there is slight difference in individuals so who knows, all i know as these have been in a closed gene pool for a few years

just keeping about 6, the rest are to go

originally swapped as fry of red shouldered chilumba the guy has been breeding them for a few years now parents are stunning, bloodline is 8 years old have about 30 odd fish all identical for shape etc.

can you be species specific

what are these guys? any ideas?

sorry no not in those pics

there was a thread a few months back that contained some useful scientific facts on beef heart etc i think the fat content in heart muscle is quite low found it for you http://www.fnzas.org.nz/fishroom/1-vt28 ... sc&start=0

went fishing about 25 years ago and pulled up an old fan belt with a pair of seahorses attached, into a bucket and then a tank at home with daily waterchanges, lived next to habour so was easy. No one else keeping marines so into the library, an old american book on keeping marines and away it went tropical marines started by swapping the local stuff i had to Harold in rotorua for tropical marines for his display tanks at the original wonderworld, thanks harold reefing started with gannet pestering me to set a tank up thanks gannet then thanks to all for the swaps and frags since then

loooking goood

your onto it dixon

detritus feeders so will eat almost anything even algae not ghost shrimp different species - burrowing ghost shrimp is Callianassa filholi or the one in local water with red mark through middle is Palaemon affinis, or New Zealand glass shrimp,

is the older one a male?

put ours in a coldwater tank and raised temp over a week period worked for us

Paratya curvirostris is the one stella, if thats the right name i have found they live equally well in full salt or freshwater or tropical

nice looking orandas have you been using plant genes (cauliflower) in your breeding

they all ready have, you are dealing with dopplegangers now jim lad good to have you back afrikan

those little brackish shrimp are as quick as Speedy Gonzales

bk's advice is spot on don't get another one if you are going to until the other one is talking clearly, about 9 to 12 months to be sure of sexing get it dna'ed i sex all our young just as they get pin feathers and mainly take the males out as that is what most pet owners want afrikan alexandrines are the bomb as a pet

sexing cockatiels, underneath of middle tail feather has barring on hens, clear on males lutinos have yellow barring albinos dna them
